the office assistants out front asked me to field a telephone call. The supervisor (one of those self-important and less than bright people) was on another call and they wanted this caller to get help. The caller was having problems with her paint.

Quantum Tunneling 11/23/21
Schrödinger’s equation followed known equations from wave mechanics and well-established mathematical terms for kinetic and potential energy which is why it is so powerful. The reason some physicists today can’t accept it is because the predictions that come out of it seem to us logically impossible, but, the truly amazing thing is that every one of these seemingly impossible predictions that can be studied have been from physicists far more clever than I, has been demonstrated experimentally.
Graphing 11/22/21
But that’s not what this advertisement did either. No, this advertisement actually did something that is very common in statistics, namely, reset the baseline. See, the graph’s base was not set to zero. The baseline was quite high (I don’t have an exact number). The graph was set to the low point in the fluctuations rather than zero. This has the effect of making those relatively small fluctuations seem enormous.
Non-Equilibrium 11/15/21
as it turns out, there is a special type of thermodynamics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, for misbehaving processes and reactions that is too fast and violent for the old-fashioned classical laws of thermodynamics.
Her Major 11/13/21
if a woman is feeling more attractive, isn’t she also going to be more confident? Won’t she be better able to stand up for herself, and put her best foot forward? Attitude is so important and helping a woman (or a man for that matter) feel more confident is a great service to her.
Atomic Structure 11/8/21
In a weird way, all touch is actually an illusion since it’s just these same charged electrostatic forces repelling one another on a sub-atomic level.
Big Ben 11/7/21
every year (at the start rather than the end) there is a kerfuffle in the news about how it will be ending this year. Every year, it will be ending this year.
Research 10/25/21
what drives the desire, indeed the need to continue to perform research? What I’m working on today takes me back to my programming days (only using Python instead of Fortran, but still utilizing that aforementioned algorithm). If it works, it will shift the paradigm of crime prediction software, but it’ll never be put into practice as I lack the corporate sponsors to be taken seriously
National Mole Day 10/23/21
It’s actually six hundred and two million trillion. To put this into some perspective, the national debt is currently about twenty-seven trillion dollars, or twenty-two million times smaller than a mole.
Quantum Economics 10/18/21
utes, so instead the calculations deal with probabilities. Where are the electrons most likely to exist? Where is money most likely to be found? You can see how this would be important to the economically minded.
